We're travelling to the south of France in August and are flying into Girona airport. We have campsite and flights booked but need to hire a car. I know that some companies charge extra fee to take the car over the border from Spain to France. Unfortunately our flights going and coming are late, arrive in at 21:10 and we fly home at 21:30 so I have heard that we may also be charged out of hours pick up and drop off. I have looked up a few and they are charging around €100 extra to take the car over the border.

Has anyone rented a car in Girona airport and can recommend a car company. I had looked at car rental when we booked the flights about a month ago but didn't book anything and they have gone up quite a bit since.

Thanks for reply. Perpignan would have been ideal for us as going to Argeles Sur Mer but want to fly from Cork and no direct flights from there to Pergignan. My DH cannot survive without a car no matter where we go! I have friends who have been and managed without a car so ye should be fine. The real bummer is the flight times as will be out of hours for pick up and drop off but once I know the charges up front and have no surprise charges it'll be grand.

Hi there, cant help with the car hire but we met a family in Argeles sur Mer last year who had booked a transfer from Girona to the campsite/return. It worked out very reasonable. If you could manage without a car it may be an option?? We didnt hire a car last yr but flew to Perpignan. Gonna try do without the car this yr also, hth
